1. Bruins:

* As pointed out by many – yet another closeout game that the Bruins lose
* I have never seen a team miss the net as much as the Bruins
* Jagr, Seguin and Marchand 0-63 on shots
* Lucic can skate when he wants to – still the turnovers though
* When was the last time Seguin beat someone one on one – he is no Rick Middleton
* Jagr is a MINUS 3

2. Red Sox:

* Red Sox were 3-34 this weekend with men in scoring position
* Lester and Buchholz 11-0 on May 13th
* Buchholz is on pace for 254 innings, which isn’t top 50 in Red Sox history
* Sox on pace for 94 wins
* 24% of the season is over
* Ellsbury on pace for 17 triples, which would be the most since 1929 when Russ Scarrit had 17

5. Inflation at the TPC:

6. Larry Bird:

Bird’s field goal attempts went down each year at Indiana State: Sophomore 24.6 /Junior 24.0 / Senior 20.8

7. Amazing Stats:

Jim Rice had 30 triples over a two year period (1977-1978)

8. Old School:

Underrated player – Jim Loscutoff? In the Celtics first championship run in 1957 the tough guy averaged 10.4 rebounds / 10.6 points

9. Just a Little Bit Outside:

According to Forbes Magazine, the most expensive restaurant in Boston is L’Espalier with a $75 price fixed meal (Defrisco’s will give them a run for the money)

10. Randomocity:

* Manchester City has spent 1 billion on players lost in the FA Cup to Wigwam who has spent $30 million (and will be relegated potentially to the lower league this year)
* Would you trade Tyler Seguin for PK Subban?
* This is Paul Pierce’s longest streak without a turnover
* Copley Plaza has the best ballroom in the city
* What would hurt more – Knicks winning or Miami?
* Should Gronk change his number to number 7 in honor of JD?
